Ingredients
To make popcorn:
- ¼ cup popcorn
- 2 tablespoon oil
To make chocolate sauce:
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon coco powder
- 2 and ½ tablespoon chocolate chips
Instructions
- Make sure to buy popcorn kernels and not normal corn kernels. Take a thick bottomed pan with lid, I used my sauce pan. Add oil to it. Swirl the pan so that oil is evenly distributed.
- Heat oil in medium flame, then add 2 corn kernels.
- It will pop up in few seconds. This is the right temperature we need. Now add all the popcorn kernels.
- Add it, give a quick stir and cover it with a lid. Simmer the flame. Now lift the pan from flame and shake it for 2 seconds then place in flame. Repeat this until all the kernels are popped out. Once the popping sound is stopped, you can switch off flame and remove it. Set aside.
- In a sauce pan - take butter and brown sugar melt it. Add coco powder.
- Add choco chips heat it up in low flame until it becomes saucy.
- Cook for a 2 mins until it bubbles up nicely. Switch off.
- Add popcorn and toss it well. Spread it on a plate for few mins then serve. Enjoy Chocolate Popcorn!
Notes
- Right temperature – I add a few kernels first to test if the oil is hot enough. When they pop, I know the temperature is right for all the kernels.
- Constant shaking – I lift the pan off the flame and shake it every few seconds, then put it back. This helps all the kernels pop evenly and prevent burning.
- Stopping – I listen carefully and turn off the flame once the popping sound slow down. This way the kernels do not burn.
- Chocolate sauce – I cook the chocolate sauce until it become saucy and thick. It should coat the popcorn nicely without being too runny.
- Tossing – I toss the popcorn with the warm chocolate sauce so it coat evenly. Warm sauce work better than cold sauce.
